Here is the behavior of the weird registers I mentioned on the main article. Note that it does it to those four registers in vic0 and vic1, keep that in mind so you don't think that there are 8 of these weird registers:

Chronic, those registers aren't any great cosmic mystery, they're the peripheral ID for the vic. Way back when, iBoot checked that against the ID for a PL192, which is probably why that old code is still there. The controller probably is a PL192, for that matter. Whatever data sheet you pulled all this off should have had this information.
 
 
Also, everything on this page is unsourced. How do you know any of this? Do you have a data sheet for s5l8920? Did you interview a Samsung or Apple engineer? Did you write test implementations to verify the stuff on this page? I know from experience that there might be a few registers corresponding between the actual hardware and some data sheet you find for a related component, but often there's no 100% match. Please provide a reference for every register you mention. If you're not sure about some but believe the device has the same registers as a data sheet you have, cite the data sheet and your reasons for thinking that. Otherwise, this page will be misleading for anyone attempting to use the data. Thanks. --[[User:Planetbeing|Planetbeing]] 15:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I am a tad unorganized, but I'll get them together and put them up as I have time instead of adding new stuff. Also, thanks for pointing out the VIC thing, it made me go back to the PL192 datasheet / ref manual and can't believe I missed it. Fixing now in another tab.
